Are you ready for the ultimate desert tour from Hammamet? Your adventure begins at 6:00 AM when you're picked up from your hotel. Buckle up for an unforgettable experience! The first stop is Kairouan, Tunisia's spiritual heart and Islamic capital. Upon arrival, you'll visit the Great Mosque of Kairouan, an architectural masterpiece that holds immense historical and religious significance. Remember to cover your head when entering this sacred site. Next, explore the famous Barber Mausoleum, a peaceful and historically rich monument. Afterward, your journey continues through the scenic route to Tozeur, passing through the vibrant city of Gafsa. At midday, enjoy a traditional Tunisia lunch to fuel up for the afternoon's adventures. Arriving in Tozeur, check-in to your 4-star hotel and relax.

After a delicious breakfast, your desert tour from Hammamet continues with an exhilarating 4x4 ride to Chebika, a Berber village nestled between rocky mountains, famous for its lush palm groves and stunning waterfall. Wander through this serene oasis and feel like you’ve stepped into a hidden paradise. Next, head to Tamerza to visit the Tamerza Waterfalls, another breathtaking oasis in the mountains. As you journey further into the desert, get ready for an exciting experience crossing the Chott El Gharsa salt flats, home to the old Dakar Rally track.
